Ingredients:L-arabinose—found naturally in some foods, L-arabinose is a unique monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that helps block the complete absorption of sugar in the body. In studies, taking L-arabinose with a high-carbohydrate meal seems to both delay and reduce peaks in blood glucose and insulin levels. Blood sugar control can play an important role in reducing feelings of hunger, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.

L-theanine—this unique amino acid found in teas, especially green tea (Camellia sinensis), increases the brain’s alpha wave activity, which seems to reduce anxiety and encourage feelings of relaxation and calm without drowsiness. In studies, taking L-theanine has been associated with improvements in both mental alertness and stress response. Stress reduction can make it easier to avoid “emotional eating.” *
